As of Wednesday, May 14

Travel Advisory
: Weak
crusts and a moist upper snowpack can be found on all aspects and at all
elevations. Expect deepening isothermal conditions over the next few days.

Avalanche Activity
: There
have been several size one avalanches on all aspects with daily warming. These
avalanches have been limited to the moist surface snow but build up quickly
depending on the size of slope. Cornices and large "mushrooms" on
cliff features continue to be a threat to the terrain below.

Snowpack
: We have
variable melt-freeze surfaces on all aspects above 1,500 metres. Rapid
settlement due to mild temperatures and solar warming has already taken effect
in the upper snowpack. There are isolated areas of soft slab up to 10cm in lee
alpine terrain.

Weather
: Moist
conditions will pass on Wednesday as a ridge of high pressure brings warm
temperatures to all elevations over the weekend.
